fuck you jorb you sadistic twat. you and midges need to be lynched. those buzzing pieces of shit are the worst addition to any game ever. i'd take credos never being changed for the better ever if it meant midges were removed from the game. i can't even afk in my own base without being indoors because every time i come back midges are eating my ass

I agree! Do not touch midgets! They add immersion and realistic summer feeling when you walk in the forest!!!

They might be a bit too harsh for swamp villages (on the other hand, swamps provide lost of good stuff, so this might be the downside), aside that, they're totally fine as they are. I don't think they're supposed to be "useful" or "fun". They are there to annoy you and they're doing their job just fine.

For swamp villages, perhaps some candles etc. could be introduced that reduce amount of midges in a large radius (like 50 tiles or something).

Generally speaking, due to how items reload in the world, swamp villages should be actively discouraged. They ruin the swamp for everyone.

Why not:

Midge Net
Worn in necklace slot. Negates midge damage but wears out over continued use. Confers PER penalty.

I've worn one a few times while camping in Scotland. they can be a ballache but it's better than midges all over your face.

Midges are fine, just have them burn if they go anywhere near a fire or torch.
